Reviewed is the development and evaluation of the instructional quality inventory (IQI), a systematic methodology for reviewing the three major products of the Instructional Systems Design process--objectives, test items, and instruction--before conducting student tryouts. The empirically based instructional design support system aids developers in choosing instructional alternatives based on cost/benefits and specific resource limitations. The objective of this report, which is intended for course designers and developers and those managing instructional development, was to describe the development and evaluation of the instructional quality inventory (IQI). The intent is to improve the quality of the materials, thereby increasing the effectiveness of later student tryouts. (PN)
